charge of deSertion and turned over to the
military. This nation, for some reason,
MatamOras, where he is under sentence of
death for Blocks murder, wished to get hold
of him so they could shoot him. The United

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY.
A Huge Combination to Boost the
Business.

"A Huge Combination to Boost the
Business.
New YORK, June 2.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-One of the greatest commercial
combinations of recent years was effected in
this city yesterday. 1t involves the control
of the entire rubber industry in America, an
industry which has already assumed i'm
mense proportions and which will undOubt-
edly increase at an accelerated rate now that
the scheme of consolidation has become an
established fact. The scheme does away
with the business of about 200 importers and
masses the buying power in the hands of one
brokerage house alone, allowing the other
twelve brokers to 60 fishing. Besides this 1t
fixes the price Of crude rubber and conse-
quently the returns to the rubber cutter for
bis labors and the revenue to the owner of
the lands. 1t also compels the jobber in rub
ber goods to pay the trust what its managers
consider fair return for the capital and
Der altogether from the trade 1t
leaves him to prey upon the retailer, who in
turn Will compel the consumer to stand
and deliver or get his feet wet. Lastly it
to suit the ideas of the trust and leaves the
larger time to ponder on that classic maxim,
What are we going to do about it?' The
trust, according to the plan proposed, was to
DC uOrMeu Dy the aDSOute surrender OF every
mill in the country. The central company
then be managed by three trustees with un-
unlimited powers. AS the meeting in this city
representatives of rubber manufactures from
all parts of the country were present. After
talking all day the trust was formed with a
working capital of $3,50O,OO0. Messrs Ban
nigan, Alden and Meyer were chosen as ex-
ecutive directors with unlimited power and a
salary of $4,000 year. it is understood.
Some idea of the magnitude of this prbject is
furnished by statistics showing the gro with
of the rubber industry in America. The i'm
ports of crude rubber has risen from II, 600, 600
pounds a few years ago to 27,OOO,0OO pounds
in 1856. The industry to-day represents an
investment of about S50,0O0,000 and an an
nual trade of over S10U, 100000. Upwards of
p, 600 MOrkmen are also emploYed.
